Huffington plans to focus on a new startup called Thrive Global, which will launch in November and focus on health, productivity, and wellness issues.

The company shares the name of her book “Thrive” and will offer workshops, online courses, and other ways it hopes will help companies improve the well-being of their employees. It has already begun testing its services with the professional services company Accenture, according to a press release sent out by the company on Thursday.

Thrive Global secured series A funding last week. A source close to the company told Business Insider it was a $7 million round that valued Thrive Global at $33 million.

The investment convinced Huffington she could not remain at the media company she cofounded 11 years ago.

She told The Journal: “I really thought I could do both, but as we started building it up, I realised that it really needed my full attention. It is important to know when one door closes and another opens and I felt that moment had arrived.”

AOL CEO Tim Armstrong said in a statement that the company intended to partner with Thrive Global in the future.

The full statement reads:

“Arianna is a visionary who built The Huffington Post into a truly transformative news platform. Today, The Huffington Post is a firmly established and celebrated news source and AOL and Verizon are committed to continuing its growth and the groundbreaking work Arianna pioneered. We are confident that our strong editorial leadership team will maintain the exacting standards and high-quality journalism of our Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom.

“We are looking forward to partnering with Arianna on Thrive Global and are grateful for what she has done in creating such an iconic brand.”

Thrive Global’s series A round was led by Lerer Hippeau Ventures, the venture fund created by Huffington Post cofounder Ken Lerer, former Huffington Post CEO Eric Hippeau, and Thrillist Media CEO Ben Lerer.
